A Battered Bogy.

Democrats in Congress should no
be deferred from joining in the efforts
to reduce the needless war taxes by
the stale trick of dangling a "freC
trade" bogy before their eyes.
Every man of ordinary intelligence
upon the subject knows that no one il
proposing free trade, or anything re
motely resembling it. The pending
Morrison bill would leave the duty
at least double what it was before the
war. 1t would not affect the twenty
per cent. reduction recommended by
a Republican President, strongly urg-
ed by two Republican Secretaries OF
the Treasury, promised bya Republi'
can Tariff Commission and falsely
claimed to have been made by Re.
publican Congress. What nonsense
and what dishonesty, then, to speak
of a moderate and necessary tariff
reduction from the war maximum as
free trade measure
Neither Democrats nor honest Re-
publican revenue reformers should be
frightened from their duty by this
battered old free trade bogy.-.New
York World.

total salt crop of this State, since the
commencement of the salt industry,

inspection law commenced in theyear

engaged in the manufacture of salt,
operating 116 steam and "a. pan
blocks. Total number of blocks 140,

The Spring Elections.

While it is not desirable that tn
spring election campaign-Or any
election campaign for that matter
should be a long one, the time has un
questionably arrived for some definite
steps toward the selection of candi
dates for the judicial and educationa
offices which are to be filled. Their,
are candidates enough, no doubt, who
have selected themselves, though thu
men who want to be Regents are
little sly as yet; but the candidates
the people want, as rule, are not the
ones who select themselves.
Wholly aside from the prohibitory
amendment, which is to play an i'm
portant part in the contest, the cleo
ton is a very important one. There
is one Justice of the Supreme Court tc
elect; and if pending legislation al
Lansing is perfected there will be two
There are two Regents also of the
University to be chosen and Circuit
Judges in all the circuits, includining
three or possibly four, in this circuit
The selection of all these officers calls
for the exercise of great care. While
it is a necessity of the case that the
nominations should be made by par
ties, the offices all call for something
very much higher than craftsmanship
Whether the places on the bench are
filled by those who call themselves
Republicans, or Democrats, or Fus
ionists, or Greenbackers, they should
be men of recognized high character
sound legal learning and unquestioned
fitness. 1t is only when the contest is
between such candidates that the pat
riotic citizen can give approval to the
elective system as applied to the judi
ciary. There are precisely similar
reasons for care in the selection OF
candidates for Regents.
So far as the State ticket is con-
cerned there will be, we take it for
granted, fusion of the Democracy
with the Nationals or Greenback par
ty. There is abundance Of material
in either party from which to select
candidates, with due regard to all
claims of locality, who will command
popular approval and the fullest par
ty support. With such candidates
the State ought to be carried in spite
of the possible light vote and the con-
fusion of party lines which the vote on
the amendment is likely to cause

The Journals Picture.

The Evening Journal was enabled
by its enterprise to present to its read
ers the first view of the proposed De.
troit government building. Except a
few visitors to the architects office in
Washington no one but the Journal
readers has had chance to know
what manner Of building Mr.. Bell
had designed. In publishing so large,
clear and minute a picture the Jour
nal gave both an exact and striking
portrait of what-with perhaps some
few modifcations---will sooner or later
stand upon the block bought for the
purpose by the government. The de-
sign is somewhat ford, and those
who prefer chaste style of architect
ure will probably criticise it on that
score. But it is certainly an impos-
ing edifice and will be an ornament to
the city. In giving the public the
first look at it the Journal is only fol-
lowing out its purpose to be the first
to make the public acquainted with
all topics of public interest. Purely
sensational subjects, scandals, sland-
ers, and disreputable gossip it leaves
to its rivals as choose to indulge in
that sort of enterprise, but in all
affairs that concern the welfare of the
community, it intends always to be at
the front.-Journal

National Union.

The National Union was organized
in May, 1881. Its object, as set forth
in its constitution, is as follows:
To associate white male persons OF
good moral character, who are social
ly acceptable and if for beneficial
membership, of sound bodily health,
and between 20 and Sc years of age.
To give material aid to its members
and their dependents.
To advance its members morally,
socially and intellectually.
To establish fund for the relief OF
sick and distressed beneficial mem
bers.
To establish benefit fund from
which, upon sufficient proof of the
death Of beneficial member of the
order who has complied with all its
lawful requirements, sum not ex-
ceeding $4,000 shall be paid to such
heir or heirs.
"The order is divided into three
departments or bodies: The Council,
or local body the Assembly, or State
body; the Senate, or national body.
The Council, commonly called lodge,
is social body, and meets monthly,
semi-monthly. or weekly; when and
where the NEST of the business of the
order is transacted. The Assembly
meets biennually, and is composed of
representatives sent from Councils in
the State. The Senate meets annual
ly, and is composed of representa-
tives sent from the Assemblies"
II is a secret organization, same as
Masons, /. o. o. F., etc, and is also
life insurance company. A person
under 20 years of age, or one over
56 years, can not be admitted, and
great care has been taken to exclude
all territory subject to epidemics to
enforce thorough physical and sur
gical examinations; and to prohibit
the admission of persons engaged in
any hazardous or doubtful occupa-
tions, such as railroad train operatives,
sailors, blasters, miners, saloon keep
ers, policemen, paid city firemen, etc.,
etc."
A member can insure from 81 900
to $4,000, and each assessment costs a
member, who is insured for 81 900,
20 cents, if his age is 20 years, and
one cent more for every year he is
over 20. For instance, if his age is
40, his assessment would be double
the above, or 40 cents. If his insur-
ance is $4,000, his assessment would
be double the above.
An assessment is made when there
is less than $4,000 in the Senate
treasury. The more deaths, the more
assessments. From May, 1881, to
January 1st, 1886, there we're paid
45 death claims, with 20 assessments
lie death benefits having been paid
from surplus. The average ASSESS
ments, for the period stated, were

Not a Good Democratic shibboleth.

"If these internal revenue laws are
not repealed by the Democratic par.
ty," says the Atlanta Constitution
"the campaign of 1888 will result in
defeat of the party, and this defeat
will be brought about by defectiont
in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ten
nesee." But if the taxes on whisky,
beer and tobacco are repealed, and
the taxes on sugar, salt, clothing, lum-
Der, iron, coal and glass are left at
the war level, would not the Democrats
be liable to lose States of even more
Importance than those named ? "Free
luxuries and high taxed necessities"
is not a good Democratic Shibboleth,

Not Altogether Logical.

Seeing that iron has advanced in
price, the coke syndicate has decided
to put up the price of coke fifty cent;
per ton. The wages of labor are not
to be advanced in proportion. The
coke producers announce that they
will fight against any further advance
in wages if their ovens be unused for
a year in consequence. This resolve
does not appear to be altogether log
ical.-Philadelphia Record.
